[resending to everyone] Hi,

I want to say that /usr/games was not on my radar when I suggested the policy change. I think (but did not check the history now) that the initial point was less generic than what we have now. Nevertheless I think the generic text is a good idea. After all, what good is having programs with the same name in /usr/bin and /usr/games. I would propose the following: 1) for trixie, recognise that this is not an RC bug or anything. 2) for forky, try to merge /usr/games into /usr/bin. I think (again without having checked) FHS previously had a strong opinion on /usr/games, but no longer does. In FHS 3.0, having /usr/games is optional. I think we should follow this "downgrade" in the FHS, mostly for practical reasons. /var/games is unaffected AFAICT. Chris PS: a lot of people in Internet search results for "/usr/games" seem to think its "historical cruft". Maybe they're right. Maybe not.
